Some gamers are outraged not only by AI-generated art.
Recently, artificial intelligence has once again caused discontent in the gaming community. This time, the reason for the outrage was not AI voice acting or generated art, but AI code.
Developer Graf Zahl, who has a specific reputation in the DOOM community (he isdescribed as a "pompous and arrogant snob") decided to introduce code written by ChatGPT into the GZDoom project.
The creatorjustified his decision to use AI code as follows:
As for all this AI hate, I'll be honest with you: it's all gone! These days, everyone uses AI to write boilerplate code*, and those who act as unwisely as you will eventually lose and be ridiculed. I certainly have doubts about using AI for project-specific code, but this is just a superficial check of system configuration settings that can be found on various sites - just with a 10-fold increase in effort.
- "Boilerplate" refers to non-creative program code that a programmer is forced to write due to the requirements of the programming language, operating system, etc.
Earlier,reports indicated that many GZDoom developers left "due to a conflict with the leadership [of the project]" and created a separate version of UZDoom - it will become a "direct continuation of GZDoom and will inherit all its functions (and will add new ones over time)."
The new AI code for GZDoom was eventually rejected, so the current public builds of the project are likely free of AI.
